A GOURMAND’S SECRET GUIDE TO DINING OUT IN FLORENCE - Best Gelato

By Indira Jansens

Best Gelato:

Most tour guides and websites tout the wonders of Vivoli as the Best Gelateria in Florence. But I prefer Carabe near the Accademia to the over the top sweet and heavy concoctions over at Vivoli.

Carabe is located a few steps from the Accademia, so you can grab a bite before venturing on to see the statue of the David. During the summer, they serve their famous Sicilian style Granita with natural flavors like Caffe, Limone, Blackberries, Almond, Peach and Cantalope!

Don't mix too many flavors like lemon and Almond, they'll look at you as if you're mad!

Americans, how dare they!
